Multi-era housing stock. Parlin section has 1950s-60s ranches and Capes. Morgan section has older pre-WWII homes. Significant newer townhome and condo communities (1990s onward). Former National Lead site redeveloped into residential. Raritan River and South River floodplains create extensive FEMA zones — the Morgan section was devastated by Hurricane Sandy storm surge from Raritan Bay; the Parlin section floods from river overflow. Former National Lead/NL Industries Superfund site in Sayreville has legacy heavy metal contamination — groundwater and soil concerns for any subsurface plumbing work in adjacent residential areas. Morgan section pre-WWII homes have the oldest plumbing infrastructure in the borough — original galvanized steel and lead service lines, clay tile sewer laterals.

Rapid townhome/condo development on former industrial parcels has increased impervious surface area, overwhelming drainage systems designed for the original lower-density layout.
